Character

This week your assignment is to post about what you're writing--specifically, your characters. Pick ONE of your characters (protagonist, antagonist, or a supporting character) and answer the questions found here about them.


Essentially, you are creating a profile for one of your characters. Include a picture or two to help your readers (and you, as a writer) get a really good grasp on who you're writing about.

POST TWO
Write a short scene where you reveal some important part of your character through dialogue or point of view.

ALSO write ONE post about whatever your heart desires.

Jealousy

Class,
We're getting close to the end--it's the last term! However, that does not mean it's ok to slack off. I have noticed your posts getting shorter and shorter, and less interesting. You have an entire week to write these responses--make sure they are GOOD.

Also, if you have not submitted your assignment via the google form by the deadline, you assignment will be considered LATE. So make sure you do it!

Also remember that we are now writing two posts a week. One on the topic I give you, one on whatever your heart desires.

This week's topic is jealousy.

Dreams


Our subconscious is a powerful tool not only for introspection, but is also a mine of good ideas for stories.

This week the topic is dreams.

Tell me about yours. Tell me what they mean. Tell me what they make you think about.
